SAFETY INFORMATION have discovered that the left rear wheel speed sensor had some very fast aberrations that caused the ABS computer to act strange. You replace the left rear wheel speed sensor to cure the problem. The scan tools missed this problem because no trouble codes were set and the computer communication bus was too slow to pick up the spikes. The DMMs missed this problem b

Avoid Fires: • Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead. • Do not perform internal service or adjustment of this instrument unless you are qualified to do so. • Do not position head directly over carburetor or throttle body. Do not pour gasoline down carburetor or throttle body when cranking or running engine. Engine backfire can occur when air cleaner is out of normal position. Avoid Burns: • Do not use fuel injector cleaning solvents or carburetor sprays when per

3. AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONIC SIGNALS 3.1 PRIMARY SIGNAL TYPES FOUND IN MODERN VEHICLES Once you become familiar with basic vehicle waveforms it will not matter how new or old the vehicle is, or even who manufactured the vehicle. You will be able to recognize signals that do not look right. Direct Current (DC) Signals The types of sensors or devices in a vehicle that produce DC signals are: • Power Supplies - Battery voltage or sensor reference voltages created by the PCM. • Analog sensor signals - e

To minimize this possible interference with the oscilloscope, keep these tips and suggestions in mind: 3.2 CRITICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONIC SIGNALS Most interference will be picked up by the oscilloscope test leads. Only 5 critical characteristics (or information types) given from the Automotive electronic signals are important • Route the test leads away from all ignition wires and components whenever possible. because the vehicle’s PCM considers them important. • Use the short

Function keys and Result Screen SCOPE displays are defaulted in “Glitch Detection” mode. This means that all signals are sampled at the full sample rate of the instrument and the minimum and maximum excursions are always shown on the display, even if the horizontal time setting is too slow to show each individual sample interval. In this mode, every noise spike of 40 ns and wider will be displayed. INPUT A Control Functions When you are in SCOPE, you can control the INPUT A functions as follows:
